"I am part of all that I have met."
Alfred Lord Tennyson


While there are many types of assets that can be used to create a fund today, you can also make plans to leave a significant contribution to your community in the future. One of the greatest opportunities for philanthropic giving occurs when you are making other major business, personal and financial decisions. Some of these special circumstances include writing or revising your will, contemplating the sale of a business or other major asset, planning for retirement or upon receiving a financial windfall.

We hope you will let us know if you decide to include the Community Foundation in your estate or future plans. Let us have the chance to thank you and to include you in our Legacy Society.

Your gift may inspire your friends and neighbors to give generously as well.
